Title: Improvements in Jacquards
Inventor: BIRKIN CHARLES WILFRED
Filed: 1907-06-10
Granted: 1907-12-12
Abstract: 13,377. Birkin, C. W., [Soc. Malhere frÞres]. June 10. Jacquards.-In a jacquard of the kind provided with two or more sets of vertical needles and two or more lifting-knives, which act in succession and hold the selected needles prior to lifting them, the needles 14, 14<a>, 14<b>, 14<c> are raised by lifting-knives 15, 15<a>, 15<b>, 15<c>, which are raised in succession by cams, either directly or through suitable connexions, and the piston of each vertical needle is controlled by a separate horizontal needle 8 provided with pins 13. The actuation of the needles 8 by a card takes place when the knife 15<c> is raised, and the knife 15 then rises to its highest position, the knives 15<a>, 15<b> rise sufficiently high to engage the needles 14<a>, 14<b>, and the knife 15<c> falls to its lowest position and then rises sufficiently high to engage the hook 14<c>. The knives 15<a>, 15<b>, 15<c> are then raised in succession as the preceding knife falls. The ends of the axle 1 of the cylinder rotate in blocks 3, which slide in fixed guides 4, and the ends of the axle carry rollers engaged in cam-grooves, so that the cylinder is moved to and from the needles 8. A bar 17 in front of the cylinder is raised and lowered by cams, which engage slots in the bar, and forks 22 on the bar engage pins on pin-wheels, which are secured to the ends of the cylinder, as the latter moves away from the needles 8, so that a partial rotation is given to the cylinder when the bar 17 is raised. Two pins on each pin-wheel are engaged by fixed fingers or bars when the cylinder acts on the needles 8, so that accidental rotation of the cylinder is prevented during the selection.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Gas-supply Regulating and like Valve Mechanism for Water Heaters.
Inventor: PITCHER THOMAS WALTER

Granted: 1908-09-10
Abstract: 20,486. Pitcher, T. W. Sept. 20, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Actuating valves.-In a valve mechanism of the type described in Specification No. 7739, A.D. 1905, for automatically controlling the supply of gaseous fuel to a water-heater by the flow of water therethrough, the casing 1, through which the water passes to or from the heater, is provided with two parallel cylinders 6, 7 having corresponding pistons 8, 9, which expose equal effective areas to the water pressure. The annular piston 8 slides on a slotted tube 11, and is guided by a plunger 14 which slides in a compartment 15, the plunger and piston being connected through a frame 12, 13. Water passes in and out of the chamber 15 through a slot in the side of the bush 17. The piston 9, to which the fuel valve 5 is.connected, is secured by a link 25 to a lever 20 pivoted at 21, which by means of a slot 22 engages the pin 23 on the frame 13, the movement of the piston 9 being thus less than the corresponding movement of the piston 8. A drip guard 28 on the underside of the piston prevents any water that has leaked past the piston from passing through the gland 27 to the fuel-supply pipe. In action, when the water is passing in at 2 and out at 3, the difference of pressure on the two sides of the piston 8 causes it to move upwardly, thus opening the fuel valve 5 through a lever 20. On the cessation of the flow of water, the pressure on both sides of the piston 8 is equalized, and the pressure above the piston 9 closes the valve 5. A hole 29 serves to establish communication between both sides of the piston 8 when this is in its lowest position, as shown, and an air-hole 10 is provided in the casing under the piston 9. Passages 19 are arranged in the end of the chamber 6.

Abstract: 26,000. Hennebique, F. Nov. 23. Mounting and securing propellers on shafts.-A propeller A for aerial machines of any type is mounted on a spherical or other joint F which allows the plane in which the propeller rotates to be independent of variations in the inclination of the machine or the driving-shaft. The driving- shaft E ends in a ball g, Fig. 3, adapted to enter a socket b in the hub B of the propeller and is secured by balls i, which rest in sockets in the parts g and b. The hub B may be divided to allow the parts to be assembled. The sockets are formed elongated to allow a slight movement between the hub B and the shaft E in the plane shown in Fig. 3, but, in the plane at right-angles, the balls fit accurately in the sockets. A weight m, Fig. 1, secured to a ring L mounted on ball bearings on the hub B retains the propeller in any desired position.

Abstract: 28,456. Walworth, A. E. Dec. 27. Drying-kilns.-In kilns of the kind described in Specifications No. 5956, A.D. 1889, [Abridgment Class Drying], and No. 16,965, A.D. 1894, deflectors are placed in rows around the annular drying - chamber so as to prevent the grain from falling from the shoots 8 vertically through the kiln, and to cause it to travel in a stepped inclined or helical course. Hot gases from a furnace are delivered to the interior of the kiln, and pass through the annular space between the cylindrical perforated casings 5, 6. The deflectors 9 in the annular space are arranged as shown, and are formed with flanges 10 for securing them to the perforated material. At the lower part of each deflector, a spout is formed by attaching an inclined plate 18, Figs. 3 and 4, to a flange 16. In a modification, the deflectors 9<a>, Fig. 5, are trough-shaped, and are formed wider at the bottom than at the top.

Title: Improvements in Regulating Apparatus or Governors for Steam or Gas Turbines.
Inventor: BROUGHAM FREDERICK JOHN
Filed: 1908-09-18
Granted: 1909-02-25
Abstract: 19,643. Brougham, F. J., [Skodawerke Akt.-Ges.]. Sept. 18. Elastic-fluid turbines.- Relates to governing- devices for turbines which comprise low-pressure portions supplied with exhaust steam as from other steam-engines, and high-pressure portions which are supplied with high-pressure steam only when the supply of exhaust steam acting in the low-pressure portions is insufficient for the load. Fig. 1 shows the main features of the invention. The low-pressure valve 10 and the high-pressure valve 15 are linked to opposite ends of a floating lever 5, 6, the pivot of which is moved by the speed governor C. The limit of opening for the low pressure valve is determined by a piston 18 having a spindle 20, which is separate from but in alinement with the valve spindle. The piston 18 moves under the resultant of the downward pressure of the spring 19 and the upward pressure of the steam in the valvebox. If the latter diminishes, the spring forces the piston down and reduces the possible opening of the valve. The spring 17 of the high-pressure valve is made of such strength that, when the speed-governor comes into action and moves the pivot 4, the high-pressure valve is opened only after the low - pressure valve has been opened as far as the piston 18 will allow and is closed before any reduction in the opening of the low-pressure valve takes place. In modifi-. cations servo-motors are introduced into the various elements of the mechanism. In one, the movement of the pivot is accomplished through the agency of a servo-motor; in another, the movements of the pivot and of the low-pressure valve, and in a third, each valve is coupled to a servo-motor. In an arrangement for a turbine plant divided into three portions, the intermediate and lowpressure valves D, A, Fig. 6, are operated through a floating lever 66 suspended from one end of a lever 4, which is also linked to the high-pressure valve B and is pivoted on a block connected to the governor. In a further modification the valves are operated by pistons 30, 38, Fig. 5, which are controlled by regulating the leakage of a pressurefluid from their cylinders. The fluid is forced in through passages 57, 58, and the leakage is controlled by valves 63, 64 connected to the ends of the floating lever. The limit of the movement of the rod 61 is determined by the piston 51, which is subjected to the pressure of the exhaust steam supply.
